Gürcütepe
MegalithicTürkiye
Cluster of four small Neolithic mounds in the valleys below Göbekli Tepe (visible from it). One of the last-phase sites in the Taş Tepeler region, dated c. 7000 BCE. Important as the first site in the region where full-bodied feminine goddess figurines appear — connecting forward to Çatalhöyük further west and the Maltese goddess tradition further afield.
Look Closer — this site carries open questions: stones heavier than the period's tools could lift; geometry beyond period explanation.
